Akai S1100
1992, the S1100 stepped it up to date from the older S1000, with 24 bit internal processing, SCSI as standard, a digital effects board, an AES/EBU digital output, a SMPTE interface, direct to h/d recording etc etc.. (see chart)..Both the 1100 & the 1000 became a hit unit used by countless studio's and artists... reliable samplers with good versatility & tons of Cd-roms & samples available via Akai & 3rd party sound designers... Superceded by the Later 3000 Units and then the newer simms based Akai's (3000xl,32000xl,2000,01) - the S1000/1100 are going for a song now, and are worth a look AS LONG AS THE MEMORY IS FULLY EXPANDED....or there is enuff memory on-board for your needs.... The sample-ram boards are still available, but they are like 300 quid in England.... 8 poly outs & stereo in/out on balanced XLR's or 1/4" unbalanced - a good solid pro sampler of it's age still well relevant........

AKAI S series are probably something you can still hear on any radio station quite often. The secret of their success,I reckon,is not the way they sound.
Converters sound cheap and that very audible loss of efficency in the lower frequency range certainly doesn't help.
Great operating system and lovely chassy, it's a military tank always ready to rock.
Doesit make sense the term "vintage" when it comes to digital?
Someone told me even that, I couldn't believe it...it's a lovely and reliable
machine, it's like a hit song born to match everybody's taste, but please, don't talk about quality.
PS:
I have two !!!
